Argentina told it must pay back £45 million UK loans that were partly used to fund Falklands invasion - Telegraph ..............................................................The demand comes amid continued tensions between London and Buenos Aires around the 30th anniversary of the war over the South Atlantic territory. Details of the loans, uncovered by a campaign group, showed how Argentina's government borrowed the money in 1979. It was partly spent on equipment used to seize the islands three years later, before they were recaptured by Britain. The South American country later ran into financial crisis and failed to repay loans - including those to British exporters underwritten by the UK Government. Now the debt has been inherited by UK Export Finance, an arm of Vince Cable's business department - which says it has "no plans to offer debt forgiveness". Argentina had used the money to buy two Type 42 destroyers, which were deployed during the invasion as well as two Lynx helicopters, one of which was among the first to arrive on the islands after the assault was launched, the Daily Mail reported.

PRISTINAE VIRTUTIS MEMOR

Discipline: Discipline is the sacrifice of a man's comforts, inclinations, safety, even life for others, for something greater than himself. It is the refusal to be the weak link in the chain that snaps under pressure.
